The droplet is designed to simulate the environment of the human respiratory system
What is exciting about this research is. It will enable people to better understand the chemical properties of respiratory droplets and the viruses contained in them. Once we understand the chemical properties of these droplets and the mechanism of virus inactivation. We may reduce the transmission efficiency of airborne diseases. laser pointer cooperate with biological experts to study viruses to prevent similar new crown epidemics in the future. The laser pulse (left, red) generates plasma (light blue). The plasma accelerates electrons (dark blue). The accelerated electrons produce X-rays (yellow). Used to image a droplet containing a virus (blue ball in the center). The auxiliary laser (right, red) also hits the droplet. To capture the mass spectrometry results of virus fragments (green).

Application
The experiment will combine two techniques. X-ray imaging for structural information and to understand the chemical composition of the sample. Mass spectrometry down to the level of individual proteins and molecules. The secondary laser in the experiment will provide spectral information by charging and decomposing the material in the sample. The individual protein components of the virus can then be chemically measured and analyzed by the detector. The director of the Berkeley Laboratory Laser Accelerator Center said. The ultimate goal of developing laser plasma acceleration technology is to reduce its use in medical treatment. The size and cost of particle accelerators of various capacities in industry and research. In principle, this may be a compact. Powerful and low-cost equipment. It can be used in many laboratories and many hospitals.
